Hello everyone!
I'm Shock19. Pleased to meet you! Let me apologize in advance: English is not my native language.. but i'm gonna try, allright?
So, we made it to deck spotlight, and i don't think anyone could have described this deck in a better way. So i'm just gonna copy-paste the description from the hearthpwn editors themselves, and answer the main question: What is this deck all about?
* Build up your C'Thun, get some cool stuff from Museum Curator;
* Soak up damage you've taken viaTwilight Darkmender or protect via Twin Emperor Vek'lor;
* If they aren't dead, build your board again via N'Zoth, the Corruptor!
If you are a really good player this probably will feel underwhelming to you; But if you are an average player like me, looking for that Rank 5 chest, you've got to the right place!
Lots of players are commenting they are reaching Rank 5 with this list, and i'm very proud of that! Keep it going guys!
Videos i made on the Deck:
Guide video with Strategy talk:
(There are also more videos on our youtube channel! Drop by if you liked those above!)
Also, kiwiinbacon was kind enough to make a video showcasing the deck! Here it is:
Update: We also got Khristophesaurus absolutely wrecking with the deck at Rank 2!
Deck updates in the long run (after testing + community suggestions):
-1 Holy Nova; +1 Shadow Word: Pain;
-1 Twilight Elder; +1 Brann Bronzebeard
-2 Hooded Acolyte;+2 Shifting Shade
Possible tech for shamans / weapon classes: Including Harrison Jones works fine (suggested by tevildo & others)!
--- Mulligan & Strategy Tips ---
Oh, and here is a very basic Mulligan Guide & Some Class-Specific tips against aggro decks & mirror matches as requested! I'll do a complete one as soon as i get more free time in my hands!
Against Priest: Look for Museum Curator, Beckoner of Evil, Shadow Word: Pain, Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield. Twilight Elder can be kept with coin.
* Usually, don't drop Nortshire Cleric @ turn1. Save if until you can draw some cards out of her. You don't desperately need board presence on the start since this is a rather slow match.
* Normally save SW:Pain for cards like Auchenai & Cleric. Using it on minions like Beckoner of Evil and such is usually a waste.
* Saving PW:Shield to play before trading is 1000% better then just playing it to buff a minion that can't attack yet.
* When you get a good board presence (and that ofter happens when you drop the Twins, usually switch to face. Priests does not have good options to remove 4 attack minions (obviously) and the Twins are golden to force him into bad trades. Take that opportunity to start dropping big threats and push for lethal. I've won MANY games @ turns 8/9 in mirror matches.
Shamans/Zoo/Hunters/Other Aggro Decks: Look for Museum Curator, Beckoner of Evil, Shadow Word: Pain. It's not wrong to keep a copy of Excavated Evil. Also keep Disciple of C'Thun. If you have two C'thun buffing minions, Twilight Darkmender is also a good keep!
* Try to use the Museum Curator to guarantee you have a drop for every turn. It's ok to pass on a Sylvannas for a weak minion to correct your curve in case of a bad mulligan.
* Normally save SW:Pain for important cards like Flametongue totem, Mana Tide totem, Totem golem, Trogg, Imp Gang Boss, Leokk.Carrion Grub HAVE to be removed ASAP! If a hunter gets to buff him with Houndmaster we are at sadtown. Don't waste SW:Pain on things like Spirit Wolves, Flame juggler and less threatening minions just for tempo. It is your key to bypass taunts and kill minions with a lot of health.
* At start focus on having board presence. Don't focus much on card draw and using hero power to heal yourself. It's ok to fall down to like 20 hp if you can heal minions to dominate the board.
* Don't be trying to extract +10 healing from Twilight Darkmender everytime. This is a huge mistake. Board presence is KING! It's perfectly fine a T5 with Twilight Darkmender to heal for +4 and board presence. I can't stress this enough: If you don't have other STRONG minion to play, don't save the Darkmenders for healing. Just play her for board presence. Remember they will have to deal with her, wich saves you time, and the late game is absolutely yours.
* Other mistake you should avoid is deciding to heal a Beckoner of Evil instead of playing a Twilight Elder. Develop your board at all times. Take advantage of drawing well. This is NOT a control matchup. Save the healing for when you run out of good options to play!
* Don't be too sad if you lose to a hunter who had both copies of Call of The Wild @ turn 8 + 9. It's just such a strong card lol. Most of the time you can only handle that much pressure if you draw Twin Emperor before he plays CotW.
Well guys that is it for today. I really hope i have helped a bit with those matches. If you want any more info be sure to post on the comments and i'll update this guide asap!
Thanks again for the amazing feedback! It's been awesome!

What do you think about replacing a Power word shield with a Shifter Zerus. Please give me your thoughts.
Thank You,
Big Faz
Is something you definitely could try! Unfortunately i dont own him. Will hurt your card draw a little tho.
If you enjoy the randomness it's fun, but it can definitely be bad for your curve a lot of the time, and rob you of some of your precious card draw.
Good deck just needs to trim the unneeded cards. Cleric/PW:S. Deck already generates card value from shifting shade / curator.
Kibler's list is close to perfect
How can I find Kibler's list?
Really wanted to like this deck but unfortunately it gets run over way too easy, and there are better control decks out there for the meta. Pass this one over.
I don't know why this deck is any good. Played 6 games all loses, there is very little c'thun cards so you rarely get c'thun to 10/10 to get any of your big heals to save your ass from a defeat. Very little board clears either make aggro decks an instant win against you. Shaman face is an instant loss every game which is right now the top deck in the meta.
Dude there's 7 C'thun cards... I play C'thun warrior with 5 activators and I get it to 10/10 most of the matches
I've never payed a cent for this game. I still have all the cards for this deck. It's all about prioritizing what you want, getting those quests done, and getting all the free stuff possible.
You aware of the fact that you can buy the advanture for gold, are you?
Or, you can just save up gold (takes me a week for 700) and buy wings. Nothing is pay to win.
What's up everyone! I'm back again, after a little absence. Sorry about that.
First i would like to thank you guys for that incredible 390+ likes on this deck. I'm so happy with that much support i can't even explain.
Well, here comes the news: I finally got to rank 5 in the current season! And unfortunately, it was not playing priest.
For me this priest list is still very good, and i did reach rank 5 with it in the last season, but it seems like the metagame has way more aggro decks now (Zoo, Aggro Shaman, Hunters, and so on) than it had back then. And i'm not here to lie to you - i'm really trying to help everyone get to rank 5.
I tried lots of changes in this list, including running 2x Auchenai Circle, Holy novas, and so on, but the winrate does not seem to be as consistent as it was before (when we could face more control decks - our best matchups by far).
Hearing Zetalot's podcast on how the priest class is weak right now did not help it either.
Anyways, i still wanted to bring you guys something new this month, and i did! I made you a Rogue deck (lol)!
And it's not your usual list - i made you a Rogue deck without Class Specific Legendaries or Epic cards. And it's not even an aggro list - it's a standard tempo / rattle deck. Very cheap, and very effective!
I took it to rank 5 yesterday, and i'm very happy to present it to you. It's not expensive, and can face Zoo / Aggro Shaman with a lot more consistency than i expected. So if any of you guys are willing to try it out, i would be very happy!
If you always wanted to play rogue, but did not want to expend dust on those legendaries.. Problem solved!
TL:DR: Facing too much control, play this priest list. Facing too much aggro? Try the list below!

Cheers! sHocK19
Glad you liked it man! Keep it up!!
One of the funniest deck I've ever played! I named it "Power of The Old Gods" on my collection..let's try this on ladder then :)
Thank you for sharing
This deck is actually horrible for the beginning ranks. Just getting back into riggedstone and cant make it past rank 18. Has nothing to do with skill, opponent wins before i can even do anything, no choices made. I mulligan high costing cards, replaced with 3 high casting cards. Im left sitting with nothing for 4 turns too often. Rarely get Cthun cards. Either im correct in my conspiracy theory that the game is rigged, or this deck just wont survive the rank 18 life. As i said, its not that im dumb or inexperienced, this deck loses without me even having the chance to make any choices.
If you can't make it past rank 18, then something is wrong with your strategy.
Every deck at every rank is a copy cat cookie cutter deck. Rank 18 is no different than rank 12 or 10 or any higher. You can flame and insult all you want, deny it all you want, everyone knows it. Thise who say otherwise are either in denile, have their head up their ass or are a just a perfect representation of your typical troll out to flame and deny and harrass. So getting past 18 is the same as playing at rank 5 or 6. Ita the same decks i would be seeing. My poibt is this deck doesnt survive anong all the other cookie cutter decks, whether it is at rank 10, 15 or 20. The game is rigged and for the most part predetermined anyways. Play this deck and see for yourself, against zoo you will almost never draw voard clear. The games algorythm is slanted against this build.
I type on my phone and im legaly blind. It typically isnt worth the effort to correct spelling and grammer when my point is made and understood just fine.
Can't be replaced, it's one of the best cards in this game
